High school students in the Rainy River District have slipped a little in their writing of provincial literacy tests.Results from the March tests show 75 per cent met or exceeded provincial standards - a five per cent drop from last year.
Education Director Heather Campbell says the exact reasons why are still to be determined.
Campbell says one of the positives was the deferral rate, where eligible students had their tests postponed to another year, was only two per cent - the lowest since the tests were first administered five years ago.
